WWE possibly hint at next opponent for Brock Lesnar
Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre fought Mustafa Ali and won this Friday. Interestingly, he did not pick up the win with the Claymore kick. Instead, he forced Ali to tap out to the Kimura Lock submission hold which is Lesnar’s signature move.
Dave Meltzer wrote the following in a Wrestling Observer update:
“There was significance in Drew McIntyre using the Kimura (Brock Lesnar’s submission move) on Mustafa Ali on Smackdown.”
McIntyre and Lesnar have faced each other before. McIntyre won the 2020 Royal Rumble to earn a WWE Championship match against the Beast Incarnate at Wrestlemania. The Scottish warrior went on to win the title in the main event of Wrestlemania 36. Unfortunately, that match took place in an empty arena.
McIntyre has previously stated his desire to take on Lesnar again but this time with a live audience to witness it.
“I’m always excited to get into the ring with the absolute best. There’s not many that are as good or as physical as Brock Lesnar. At WrestleMania, I did defeat him in five minutes. But I would like the opportunity to face Brock again and in front of a live audience.”
It seems like the 2-time WWE Champion could have his wish in the coming weeks or months.
